Natural nutritional and herbal support can form part of a holistic approach to maintaining joint health, mobility and comfort in dogs.
Does your older dog show signs of stiffness or reluctance to exercise as much as they used to? Are they struggling to jump in and out of the car or get up comfortably after resting? These may be signs that your dog's joints are becoming stiff or uncomfortable.
Conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause side effects, particularly in some dogs or with prolonged use. Natural options may help support joint health and comfort, depending on the ingredients and your dog's individual needs.
At Greenpet, we've been supporting animals with natural health and nutrition for more than 30 years. We offer a range of nutritional supplements, herbal blends and other products to help support joint function, mobility and overall wellbeing.

Supporting Your Dog's Joints Holistically
Supplements are just one part of a holistic approach to joint health. Your dog's diet, body weight, activity levels and home environment can all influence their comfort and mobility.
Consider these practical steps:
-
Maintain a healthy body weight: Excess weight places additional stress on joints.
-
Encourage appropriate movement: Regular, gentle activity helps maintain mobility and muscle strength.
-
Provide comfortable resting areas: A supportive bed in a warm, quiet spot can help your dog rest comfortably.
-
Make everyday activities easier: Ramps, steps and non-slip flooring can reduce the need for difficult jumps.
-
Choose supplements carefully: Consider your dog's age, diet, existing health concerns and the ingredients in each product.
Natural products can still have side effects or interact with medications. This is particularly important with herbs such as devil's claw and white willow bark, so check suitability before combining products.
If your dog develops sudden lameness, severe pain or a significant change in mobility, seek prompt assessment to identify the cause.
